About
I help small businesses make AI actually work.
I'm Charlie Howell — VP of Technology, business owner, author, and entrepreneur trainer. I've spent years on the inside of real companies, making technology deliver results instead of just looking impressive in a demo. Total Pop Tech is where I bring that to small business owners like you.
Here's what I believe.
Most of what you read about AI online is hype with someone's agenda attached. People repeat what they see on the internet without ever testing whether it's true. I don't work that way, and I won't ask you to. I'll tell you straight what's worth your time and what isn't — then I'll build the part that's worth it.
I also believe AI's real payoff isn't a flashy tool. It's time. The right setup hands you back 20 or more hours a week — hours you can put into your next move, or into the people you started this business for in the first place. Technology should give you your life back, not swallow it.
What I do.
AI agents as employees. Custom agents that take orders, answer customers, handle marketing, and post your content — working around the clock so you don't have to.
Implementation, done right. I set up the tools, connect them to how your business actually runs, and make sure they keep working after I'm gone.
Training your team. Your people learn to use AI with confidence — plain language, real examples, no jargon and no kool-aid.
Who I work with.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners who know AI could help but don't know where to start — and companies that want their employees fluent in it. If that's you, you're in the right place.
Let's talk.
